SCOREGolf recently compiled a list of the Top 100 PGA Tour players for 2012 that was published in their 2012 SCOREGolf Annual Magazine. They’ve scoured the stats, tracked the trends and compiled their 1-100 ranking of the top PGA Tour players for the 2012 season. They have recognized the emergence of many young guns, the decline of several aging stars and the rapid rise of golf’s new leading man.

We started last week, featuring the Top PGA Tour players that were ranked from 30 to 26.  We continue the list this week featuring golfers ranking 25 to 21.

Special thanks must go to SCOREGolf‘s Jason Logan, Peter Robinson and Bob Weeks for presenting this list!

And so the countdown continues…

#25.  Rickie Fowler

Anaheim, Calif.  |  Age: 25  |  PGA Tour Victories: 0
2011 Earnings: $2,084,681  |  Best 2011 Finish: T2 – WGC  Bridgestone Invitational

2012 Season Outlook: Fowler built consistency into his game last season; if he is going to win on the PGA Tour he needs to do the same over four rounds.  In only three events in 2011 did he post four rounds under par.  As he enters his third season on the tour he should gain more confidence and build on his already impressive run.  One of the tour’s top putters, Fowler seems to be the type of player who will win in bunches once he gets the first one out of the way.

#24.   Jim Furyk

Westchester, Pa.  |  Age: 41  |  PGA Tour Victories: 16
2011 Earnings: $1,529,690  |  Best 2011 Finish: 6th – Deutsche Bank Championship

2012 Season Outlook: After such a consistent career on the links, it’s hard to imagine Furyk won’t right the ship in 2012 and move up in statistical categories instead of down.  He is a tireless worker on his game and will likely put in the hours to get his putter back.  Still, a year after winning three times, he never really came close in 2011 and those seven missed cuts can be viewed as worrisome.  Furyk will be 42 by next year’s U.S. Open, not old by any means but certainly on the back nine of his PGA Tour career.

#23.  Ernie Els

Johannesburg, South Africa  |  Age: 42  |  PGA Tour Victories: 18
2011 Earnings: $948,872  |  Best 2011 Finish: T15 – WGC-Cadillac Championship

2012 Season Outlook: Els says he is working on re-building his game in hopes of winning more majors, which he concedes some folks might find laughable.  But if he isn’t able to fix his putting woes he won’t go very far.  On the positive side, he was seventh in greens in regulation last year, which shows he still knows how to get the ball around, as evidenced by his 61 in the first round of the Memorial.  The question is whether 2011 was a blip or perhaps the start of the Big Easy turning into the Old Easy.  It’s a scary thought, isn’t it?

#22.  Tiger Woods

Cypress, California  |  Age: 36  |  PGA Tour Victories: 71
2011 Earnings: $660,238  |  Best 2011 Finish: T4 – The Masters

2012 Outlook:  The question for next season is whether Woods can get his game back to world-class status and be a threat every time he tees it up.  While there were late-season signs that were impressive, there were an equal number suggesting Woods is still a way off from his peak form.  He has never been a workhorse in terms of tournaments played, and his new single-dad duties may sap his time on the range and at tournaments if recent signs are any indication.

#21.  Brandt Snedeker

Nashville, Tenn.  |  Age: 30  |  PGA Tour Victories: 2
2011 Earnings: $3,587,206  |  Best 2011 Finish: 1st – The Heritage

2012 Outlook:  Snedeker is one of the best putters on the PGA Tour and that will always produce good scores, but his inconsistency prevents him from being a top-20 players in the world.  He’s averaged just under 10 missed cuts a season for the past three years, too many for a player of his calibre.  He had top-15 finishes in both the Masters and U.S. Open, showing he has what it takes to play well in difficult conditions, but he missed the cut in the British and PGA.  The Masters is his best bet for a major surprise.

Stayed tuned for next week when we reveal SCOREGolf’s #20-#16 ranked Top PGA Tour players.

As we countdown to this Sunday’s Super Bowl, there’s really only two things that get me super excited for the big day: the commercials and the food!!  I’ve noticed the stream of commercial ads that are going viral as sneak peaks of what’s to come this Sunday.   Living in Canada we don’t always get to see the ads live during the big game, but thankfully now we have the internet, YouTube and Facebook to help us out.

So what inspired me this morning first was this adorable commercial which is part two to last year’s famous Volkswagen “The Force” commercial:

“The Dog Strikes Back” VW Commercial

In saying that, I was now in the mood to start thinking about what yummy foods will be consumed on Sunday, and what’s a Super Bowl with DIP?!?  And by dip, I mean a big, super, bowl of flavours!  Who needs a full meal when you have so many flavours in a variety of munchie packs!

So after watching that cute dog exercising, my next click took me to one of my favourite blogs, BrownEyedBaker.com.   She hits the nail on the head by saying “At no other point in time is it possible to find so many amazing appetizer and dip recipes.  She then describes the most mouth-watering dip I’ve heard of (and that’s my love for pizza coming out).  This pizza dip is super simple and combines all of the crave-worthy flavors of a pizza without the need to toss dough, preheat a pizza stone, or bust out the pizza peel.  An awesome compromise for the sake of dip.

Now tell me that this recipe and pictures don’t inspire you to make this for your Super Bowl party on Sunday!

Pizza Dip

Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Bake Time: 20 minutes

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup pizza sauce
2 ounces sliced pepperoni
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons sliced black olives

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Spread the cream cheese over the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Top with ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella and ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese.

3. Spread the pizza sauce on top of the cheeses, and then top with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese.

4. Top with pepperoni slices, chopped green pepper and sliced black olives.

5. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Enjoy your Super bowl of Pizza Dip during the SuperBowl!!  Go Team!!

SCOREGolf recently compiled a list of the Top 100 PGA Tour players for 2012 that was published in their 2012 SCOREGolf Annual Magazine.  They’ve scoured the stats, tracked the trends and compiled their 1-100 ranking of the top PGA Tour players for the 2012 season.  They have recognized the emergence of many young guns, the decline of several aging stars and the rapid rise of golf’s new leading man.

For the next six Wednesdays, we will feature five golfers from the list starting from the 30th position, counting down to the number one player to begin the 2012 season.  Special thanks must go to SCOREGolf‘s Jason Logan, Peter Robinson and Bob Weeks for presenting this list!

And so the countdown begins…

#30.   Rory Sabbatini

Durban, South Africa  |  Age: 35  |  PGA Tour Victories: 6
2011 Earnings: $2,420,655  |  Best 2011 Finish: 1st – Honda Classic

2012 Season Outlook – After missing tournaments over the last few years for his reported suspension and to take care of skin cancer (hence the cowboy-style hat), Sabbatini seems settled and focused on golf once again as evidenced by his late-season run.  A streaky player, he can be one of the best ball strikers in the game when he’s on.  But he continues to live and die by his flatstick, a club that eluded him for much of 2011.  If he can keep his head in check, Sabbatini can be a dominate player on any tour.

#29.  Mark Wilson

Menomonee Falls, Wisc.  |  Age: 37  |  PGA Tour Victories: 4
2011 Earnings: $3,158,477  |  Best 2011 Finish: 1st – Sony Open; Waste Management Phoenix Open

2012 Season Outlook – Not many pundits seem to think Wilson can continue the torrid pace he set in 2011.  Certainly he wasn’t given much consideration for Player of the Year despite his multiple wins and the $3 million in earnings.  A short hitter who makes up for it with accuracy off the tee and into the greens, Wilson has been a fairly consistent performer prior to breaking out last season.  Still, it will be hard for him to follow up 2011 as it would for just about any player.  He’ll play close to 30 tournaments and all of his wins have come before April.

#28.  Geoff Ogilvy

Adelaide, Austrailia  |  Age: 34  |  PGA Tour Victories: 7
2011 Earnings: $1,916,994  |  Best 2011 Finish: 3rd – BMW Championship

2012 Season Outlook: A healthy Ogilvy can be one of the best players in the world and there’s little reason to doubt that he’ll show that in 2012 if he avoid the disabled list.  A very good and very consistent putter, his apparent laid-back demeanor hides his competitive nature that drives him so there’s good reason to believe he wants to climb back into the top of the world rankings.  The push in the RedEx Cup playoffs at the end of 2011 shows his game seems to be back to form.

#27.  Martin Laird

Glasgow, Scotland  |  Age: 29  |  PGA Tour Victories: 2
2011 Earnings: $2,676,509  | Best 2011 Finish: 1st – Arnold Palmer Invitational

2012 Season Outlook: There is no reason to believe Laird will take a step back any time soon.  He has complete game that starts with great distance off the tee.  He has progressively improved year after year and plays well on courses as diverse as TPC Scottsdale (Phoenix Open) and Colonial CC.  He must sharpen up his major play, however, as he’s never made weekend play in either the U.S. or British Opens.  The only Scot playing the PGA Tour, he may tee it up more in Europe in 2012 ahead of the Ryder Cup qualifying.

#26.  Jason Dufner

Cleveland, Ohio  |  Age: 34  |  PGA Tour Victories: 0
2011 Earnings: $3,057,860  |  Best 2011 Finish: 2nd – Waste Management Phoenix Open; PGA Championship

2012 Season Outlook:  Dufner looks more like a bag of milk than a PGA Tour professional, seemingly defying the new trend towards being physically fit.  However, he is easily among the most underrated players on the circuit and he’s a tremendous ball stricker who showed his mettle at the PGA last August.  A little more consistency in his game would go a long way — both times he lost in a playoff in 2011, he followed it up by missing the cut the next week.  He also needs to improve his putting.

‘My checklist’ – Be ready to make every putt

• CONFIDENCE IS EVERYTHING  Before you take your address, while you’re still reading the putt, imagine the ball tracking on the line you’ve chosen and falling into the cup.  If you don’t believe you can make every putt, why bother trying?

• FORGET THE HOLE  Unless it’s a dead-straight short putt, you should focus on a spot somewhere along the line you want to roll the ball on.  When the time comes to make your stroke, if you’re still aware of the hole, it could distract you from your goal of rolling the ball on the correct line.  Your brain will try to get you to steer the ball toward the hole.

• AIM THE FACE FIRST  You should never get set over the ball and then aim your putterface.  If you do it in that order, you can easily lose sight of your intended line.  Instead, aim the face down your line first, then settle your body into position.

• EYE ON THE BALL  When you take your address, stand so your left eye (for right-handed players) is directly over the ball.  This ball position will help you start the putt on line–and make a perfect strike for a smooth roll.

• MY LAST THOUGHT  Right before I start the putter back, I think about making solid contact.  This brings your attention to the back of the ball and helps keep your head still at impact, which is a must.  Many amateurs take a peek down the line too soon, and that can cause all sorts of mis-hits.

The days are cold, and we’re going to start seeing even more snowy days.  Unfortunately for some of us, we’ll be experiencing a completely different kind of flake — flaky, lacklustre skin that has replaced that dewy glow of summer.

Kristen Ma, aesthetician and co-owner of Pure + Simple spa in Toronto, offers 10 insider tips for maintaining healthy, flake-free, supple skin — all winter long.

1. Get a facial
Ma explains that getting a facial is a great way to clear out your skin and start a new season with a clean slate. As the climate changes, so does our skin, and an aesthetician can help ease the transition. Starting with healthier, cleaner skin allows your cold weather skin-care routine to be more effective, Ma says.

2. Drink water
Remembering to stay hydrated in the summer is a no-brainer, but as it gets colder, getting your daily dose of water isn’t always a top priority — but it should be, Ma says. “We all get more dehydrated in the winter, so it’s important to drink more water,” she explains. “This is a very simple, but beneficial tip for people wanting to maintain healthy skin.”

3. Protect your face from the elements
We wrap ourselves in heavy jackets and clothing during the winter, and it shouldn’t be any different with our skin, Ma says. She suggests using a heavier cream versus a lighter moisturizer to keep skin hydrated. “Skin gets more sensitive in the winter so think of a heavier cream as an extra layer of protection — like a warm sweater,” she says.

4. Avoid petroleum
Don’t neglect your lips, which have a tendency to dry out in the winter. Keep balm with you and apply often as the temperature drops. Ma suggests avoiding products that contain petroleum as it can clog the pores in your lips, making it hard for the moisture to get where it needs to be. “You can’t properly moisturize skin that is congested,” she explains.

5. Don’t put away the sunscreen
Just because you’re shivering doesn’t mean the sun’s rays go on vacation. Sunscreen is still important, Ma says. Remember to put it on 30 minutes before you leave the house so your skin is protected.

6. Take care of your body, too
“Skin is the largest organ in your body, so you must moisturize all if it, not just from the shoulders up,” Ma says. The same goes for exfoliation, she explains. Whatever you do for your face, you should also be doing for your body, especially in frosty.

7. Try a hydrating serum
Ma suggests adding a hydrating serum to your skin-care routine, to be applied under your regular moisturizer. There is so much humidity in the summer, you don’t need one, she says. But winter’s dry air means we need an extra layer of moisture, which a serum can provide. Like layering a favourite fitted T-shirt under your cardigan, a hydrating serum seals in the comfort — not to mention helps provide dewy-looking skin despite dry air and frigid temperatures.

8. Use a cream cleanser
Switch from a gel to a cream cleanser for the winter. Because skin is more sensitive in cold weather, gel cleansers, which are often astringent, can further dry out and irritate winter skin, Ma explains. A quality cream cleanser will remove makeup and debris without depleting skin’s precious moisture.

9. Exfoliate regularly
Dull, lacklustre skin is an unfortunate winter trademark. This is caused by a buildup of dead skin, Ma explains. To give those dry, flaky cheeks a boost, exfoliate regularly. You need to do this more often in winter than you do in summer, she says. “Three times a week is a great way to ensure you’re always showcasing your freshest, healthiest skin.”

10. Try oils
A great — and comforting — way to provide your whole body with much-needed hydration during the winter is with bath oils. Your skin absorbs the moisture from the oils, leaving your skin silky soft every time you step out of the tub.

As the weather gets colder, our bodies seem to yearn more and more for the comfort of a hot beverage.  Although ‘fancy coffees’ can be a decadent treat, they’re not particularly the healthiest choices.  Fortunately, there are many seasonal beverage staples that offer plenty of benefits!

Depending on the type of chocolate used, hot chocolate can contain a great deal of good-for-you antioxidants!  Recent studies have show that there may even be more antioxidants per cup than a similar service of red wine or tea, and the darker the chocolate, the more healthy antioxidants present. SWEET!

Consumed in moderation, coffee serves up some mighty powerful health benefits in itself.  Also high in antioxidants, coffee can improve memory, concentration and reaction time, and boost metabolism.  Some research has even shown that coffee may reduce risk of Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.

Hot apple cider is packed with Vitamin C which could help you keep you immune system boosted this season.  The sugar content is relatively high due to it being a concentrate of pressed apples, so drink in moderation.

The healthiest warm beverage is undoubtedly green and black teas.  Polyphenols and antioxidants are extracted when black tea is brewed, which are full of heart-healthy benefits.  Studies have shown three cups of green tea a day can decrease heart attack rate by 11 percent, and in addition to that it helps promote fat burning, raise levels of good cholesterol, and may reduce the risk of several forms of cancer.

Conveniently located 40 minutes north of Kelowna International Airport and just fifteen minutes south of Vernon, British Columbia, Predator Ridge is best known for its two award-winning golf courses, resort-club ambience, and excellence in Okanagan home design.

Predator Ridge has hundreds of North Okanagan residents living here for at least part of the winter. The annual Christmas tree light up attracts thousands of visitors and showcases the seasonal beauty of Predator, which sees periodic snowfall from late November through mid-March.

Here are six awesome way to enjoy this winter wonderland:

Downhill Skiing/Snowboarding: Predator Ridge is an easy day trip from three of Canada’s top ski areas: Silver Star Mountain Resort (1 hr, 10 min); Big White Ski Resort, (1 hr, 50 min) and Revelstoke Mountain Resort (2 hrs, 50 min). Each of these resorts has their own distinct personality. Silver Star’s postcard village is modeled on a Victorian-era BC mining town, and skiing and riding takes place on three separate mountain faces with over 115 runs. Newly (2007) opened Revelstoke Mountain Resort has already become world-renowned for its mega-powder dumps, massive vertical (second in BC to Whistler-Blackcomb), and helicopter and snowcat skiing, right from the base of the resort. Big White – home of ‘the Okanagan’s famous champagne powder’ has won numerous awards in the international media for its family-friendly activities and wide open, above treeline skiing.

New this winter, Eagle Pass helicopter skiing will be doing day trips from both Silver Star Mountain Resort and Sparkling Hill Resort, just up the hill from Predator Ridge.

Snowshoeing: The beauty of snowshoeing is that ‘if you can walk, you can snowshoe.’ For residents and guests of Predator Ridge, snowshoeing can be done just steps from your Okanagan home. Snowshoes are conveniently available for rent at the Fitness Centre. From there, take off on the many kilometres of snow-covered walking paths which wind throughout the resort. It’s a great way to burn off calories and get some much-needed colour in your cheeks!

Nordic skiing: Predator Ridge is less than an hour from two of the top Nordic (cross country) ski facilities in all of Canada – the trails jointly operated by Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre and Silver Star Mountain Resort. These trails have been utilized by Canada’s Olympic team as well as many international teams for pre and post-season training, have hosted World Cup races, and in 2011 were the site of the World Masters Cross Country Championships. Sovereign and Silver Star are known for their reliable snow conditions, broad variety of terrain – suitable for any level of ability – and outstanding winter scenery. Lessons, rental equipment, and trail passes can be purchased at either facility.

Hockey: Canadian entertainers like Stompin’ Tom Connors and the Tragically Hip have written mythic songs about hockey, and you’ll find our country’s unofficial national sport is loved in the Okanagan, just like it is everywhere else. Recreational hockey – both pick-up and organized – can be played at community centre arenas throughout the Valley and there’s even ‘pond shinny’ on Silver Star, Wood Lake, and up at Big White Ski Resort; home to “Canada’s highest altitude skating rink.”

The Okanagan has one Western Hockey League (Kelowna Rockets) team and several others in the BC Hockey League (Vernon, Penticton, Westside, and Salmon Arm). The action is fast and furious as these top junior prospects try to make a name for themselves to get drafted by a National Hockey League team, and during the winter months local arenas, including the Wesbild Centre in Vernon, are packed to the rafters, cheering these young players on!

Curling: If hog-line, hurry hard, and shot-rock are part of your winter vocabulary, then you’ll be happy to know you can take advantage of your favourite passion in the Okanagan. Many Canadians – especially those migrating from the Prairie provinces – love to spend their winters partaking in this most sociable of games (not unlike golf, come to think of it!). There are curling clubs in Vernon, Winfield, Armstrong, and Kelowna that welcome new members every year.

Ice wine grape picking/tasting: Prized around the world—especially in Asia and Germany—as an after-dinner treat, thick, almost cognac-like ice wine is concocted from frozen grapes. Its high price is due partially to the fact that – depending on the mildness of the winter – it might not actually get cold enough to freeze the grapes. Local Okanagan vineyard owners and wine makers are always on the lookout for volunteers to come out – sometimes in the wee, early morning hours – to pick grapes that have been frozen in at least minus 8 degrees Celsius temperatures. As you might expect, because the grapes are really frozen pellets, even when crushed they secrete very little juice. It takes many grapes to make single bottle. Icewine is a premium product – best served chilled – and a seasonal delicacy in the Okanagan. For more information, visit the BC Wine Institute.

Once you settle into your Okanagan home, you’re sure to make friends with year-round residents and find many more ways to enjoy winter in this vibrant, growing community.

Let’s face it, the Okanagan real estate market is usually at its most active during the summer months, when the sun is high in the sky, the Ponderosa pines and sagebrush are scenting the air, and the Predator Ridge fairways are lush and the greens are like magic carpet.

Winter, though, brings a whole new range of experiences and scenic beauty to Predator Ridge—specifically, the world famous Okanagan champagne powder snow. Whether you’re a snowshoer, cross country (Nordic) or downhill (Alpine) skier, you’ll find this powdery confection to be quite unlike any you’ve ever experienced!

There are three key factors at play, here. The Okanagan Valley lies in the lee of British Columbia’s Coast Range mountains. In Vancouver, most of the precipitation falls as rain but turns to snow at higher elevations – especially at places like Grouse Mountain and even farther north in Whistler. However, the Coast Range’s proximity to the ocean means that the snowfall is sticky and heavy. Those Pacific winter storms are also driven by high winds and fluctuating temperatures – one minute it can be snowing, the next minute it will turn to rain – then back to snow!

Not in the Thompson Okanagan, which lies in the ‘rain shadow’ of the higher peaks to the west. As the name suggests, clouds and precipitation stay on the windward side of the mountains—which form an effective barrier to the storms. Less clouds = more sun, which is why this summer vacationland is so popular with golfers, boaters, hikers, and even wine lovers.

But there’s still plenty of snow up in the hills. Thanks to the ‘lake effect’ from the hundreds of kilometres of lakes in the region, snow makes a regular appearance at higher elevations. Annual snowfall at Kelowna Airport (elevation: 344 metres/1129 feet) averages around 170 centimetres of snowfall annually; while Big White Ski Resort – “Canada’s Home of Champagne Powder” – receives  almost four times as much snow – 700 centimetres (21 feet)!

Silver Star Mountain Resort – Big White’s sister resort – and about an hour’s drive from Predator Ridge – is similarly blessed. The elevation and snowfall are somewhat lower, here – the top is 1915 metres above sea level (6,280 feet) – but the arid, desert-like atmosphere dries out the snow into perfect stellar crystals that blow off a glove or mitt – you can barely even make a snowball with it!

Champagne powder – just another reason to consider Okanagan real estate.

This blog post caught my attention in the Vancouver View as our office just indulged in a holiday potluck. So much food it can be overwhelming but you don’t want to say no.  I thought this was a great post to share, so enjoy and Happy Holidays!

No mat­ter which hol­i­day you cel­e­brate, Decem­ber in Canada means two things: an abun­dance of food and too lit­tle day­light! This com­bi­na­tion of excess calo­ries and min­i­mal light often trans­lates into a lack of exer­cise, weight gain and a gen­eral feel­ing of the ‘blahs’. But wait a minute—isn’t it the sea­son to be merry and bright?

This sea­son of cel­e­bra­tion doesn’t have to equate to glut­to­nous eating—or depri­va­tion either, for that mat­ter. Aim to bring the focus back to the orig­i­nal pur­pose of the hol­i­days: enjoy your friends and fam­ily, the time off and the tra­di­tions of the sea­son. Here are some ideas how you can have your cake and eat it too dur­ing this joy­ous time of year.

Shop Well For Yourself

Stock your kitchen with healthy foods and have healthy snacks handy. Instead of think­ing about what you shouldn’t eat, make a com­mit­ment to eat your three to five serv­ings of veg­eta­bles each day.

Sched­ule Your Exercise

Don’t let a busy hol­i­day sea­son sched­ule throw off your exer­cise rou­tine. Keep­ing fit is the best way to feel merry and bright through the sea­son into the New Year. Cre­ate some struc­ture around your work­outs and sched­ule gym and yoga ses­sions just as you would any other appointment.

Win­ter Wonderland

The Okanagan Valley has a world-class resort within reach, so get out there and play. Appre­ci­ate the beauty of the sea­son by strap­ping on those skates or hit­ting the slopes for down­hill or cross-country ski­ing, snow­board­ing, snow­shoe­ing or hiking—enjoy the fresh air and get some exercise!

Hydrate

Keep your water bot­tle with you at all times and aim for those noto­ri­ous eight eight-ounce glasses of water every day. Remem­ber to space out your alco­holic bev­er­ages with a glass of water. This not only helps to keep you hydrated but also helps you to feel fresh the next day …
